The EE-T Project aims to (1) create an online database of translations of economic texts from the 18th-20th centuries between various European languages, (2) establish interdisciplinary collaboration between history of economic thought scholars and linguists to analyze the impact of translations, and (3) develop multilingualism and European citizenship. It will produce the translation database, original research on translations, an online project portal with guides and exercises, and online lectures. The project involves 10 partners from 8 European countries who will develop activities and outcomes.

1. EE-T Project
Economics e-Translations into and from European Languages
Funded by the European Commission
Lifelong Learning Programme
Erasmus sub programme

2. Why EE-T Project?
Since its origins, the economic science has been a subject of
public discussion.
The international circulation of economic ideas was
fostered by translations of economic texts, performed both
as individual initiatives and as part of more systematic
publishing initiatives.
Every economic text of the past has been translated from the
original language into other European languages in a specific way,
using specific terms reflecting the historical and political context
of the period.
A linguistic analysis of the different translations made is
therefore necessary to fully understand the history of
economic thought.
EE-T Project aims to assess the impact of translations of economic texts on the History
of Economic Thought in Europe.
Historical and linguistic analysis of the different translations is indeed necessary to fully
understand the circulation of economic ideas, in order to provide a richer approach to the
History of Economic Thought.
